Shamrock Rovers, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 home defeat by Waterford will have left the Shamrock Rovers squad feeling a little deflated. During that encounter they had 72% possession and had 20 attempts on goal with 7 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 7 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Stephen Bradley will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 54 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Tallaght Stadium.
Shamrock will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
On an individual basis, Johnny Kenny has scored in each of Shamrock Rovers' last 4 league games.
St. Patrick's Athletic, Recent FormThe St. Patrick's Athletic players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Sligo Rovers recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 67% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Sligo Rovers' tally of 7 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They've kept 6 clean sheets so far this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was St. Patrick's Athletic that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
Shamrock will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 8 encounters with Saints. In their last 3 away league games against The Hoops, St. Patrick's Athletic have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
In the past Shamrock have managed to keep the visitors in this home league fixture in check, being unbeaten for 13 games in a row.
Shamrock manager Stephen Bradley has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Graham Burke (Muscle), Darragh Burns (Knock), Rory Gaffney (Unknown), Lee Grace (Leg), Seán Hoare (Unknown), Aaron McEneff (Unknown), Richie Towell (Muscle) and Dylan Watts (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Daly has a number of injury concerns in his St. Patrick's Athletic squad to contend with: Tom Grivosti (Cruciate ligament), Joe Redmond (Ankle) and Axel Sjöberg (Hamstring)
